    How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies

    Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper. While the oven heats, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.

    flour, baking soda and salt in bowl
    butter and sugar in a  bowl

    Cream the butter in a mixing bowl until it’s nice and fluffy. Add the sugar and continue beating until fully combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and beat on low speed. If the dough feels too stiff or dry, add milk one small splash at a time until the dough is soft but not sticky.

    Fill a bowl with crushed Oreos. Scoop out dough by rounded tablespoon or use a cookie scoop. Drop into cookie crumbs and roll until the balls are covered. Place cookie dough on your baking sheet about an inch apart. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are slightly set.

    Remove the cookies from the oven and press one Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie while they’re still warm. Cool on a wire rack.

    Tips for Making Cookies And Creme Cookies

    Tip 1: Measure your ingredients carefully. Too much flour can make your cookies dry, and too much milk can make them flat.

    Tip 2: Don’t wait too long before adding the Kisses to the warm cookies. If the cookie cools off too much, the candy will not stick.

    Tip 3: Avoid overbaking the cookies. They should be soft when removed from the oven. They’ll continue to set as they cool.

    FAQS For Cookies & Cream Cookies

    How do I store cookies and cream cookies?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also refrigerate them for up to three weeks. If you decide to freeze them, the Hershey's Kiss might change in appearance but still taste good.

    Do I need to refrigerate the cookie dough beforehand?

    It is unnecessary, but refrigerating the dough for 20–30 minutes before baking can help it hold its shape better.

    Can I make cookie dough ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can also freeze the dough by storing the dough balls in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. Just bake as directed (add an extra minute or two if baking straight from the freezer).

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick - room temperature
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 tablespoon milk if needed
    • ½ cup Oreo cookies finely crushed
    • 48 Cookies N' Creme Hershey’s Kisses unwrapped

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter on medium speed for about 5 minutes until creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the sugar, and continue beating for another 5-7 minutes until light and fluffy.
    • Blend in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
    • If the dough feels too stiff, slowly drizzle in the milk, adding just enough to slightly soften the dough. Avoid overdoing it, as too much milk can cause the cookies to spread too thin during baking.
    • Place the crushed Oreos in a shallow bowl. Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls.
    • Roll each ball in the crushed Oreos, ensuring they are evenly coated.
    • Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and the edges are just set.
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then gently press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
    • Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The candies may appear to melt initially but will firm up as they cool—avoid touching them during this process.

    Notes

    • Measure ingredients carefully! Too much flour = dry cookies, too much milk = flat cookies.
    • Add the Kisses while the cookies are still warm—if they cool down too much, the candy won’t stick.
    • Don’t overbake! Take them out soft—they’ll firm up as they cool.
